Definitions
- the present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a household refrigerator, with an evaporator chamber and the evaporator chamber draining Kondenswasserableitu ng.
- a water drain pan is mounted in the evaporator chamber under the evaporator, converging in the effluent from the evaporator condensate.
- water drainage would extend to below the lower edges of these walls, but this is with the requirement that the evaporator chamber both simple and too Maintenance should be dismantled, difficult to reconcile.
- the water drain pan has an end wall facing a downstream wall of the evaporator chamber, and fastening projections projecting beyond the end wall, pass through an opening of the downstream wall and are hooked to a side facing away from the evaporator chamber surface of the downstream wall.
- these attachment projections may limit the distance between the end wall of the water drain pan and the downstream wall of the evaporator chamber, but can not make it exactly zero due to manufacturing tolerances. This can cause condensation water running down the downstream wall not to enter the water drain pan, but to pass between its end wall and the downstream wall and thereby areas of the refrigeration device reached, where a further outflow of water is not guaranteed and accumulating water can cause malfunction of the refrigerator.
- the object of the invention is to provide a refrigeration device in which the evaporator chamber is constructed simple and separable and a complete outflow of the condensation water is guaranteed.
- the object is achieved by providing in a refrigerator with an evaporator chamber, an evaporator mounted in the evaporator chamber, a fan for driving an air flow through the evaporator chamber and a water drain pan, which is mounted in the evaporator chamber below the evaporator and an end wall, which is a downstream wall facing the evaporator chamber, and having at least one over the end wall protruding and passing through an opening of the downstream wall fastening projection, in a stop position in which an outer surface of the end wall contacts an inner surface of the downstream wall at an inner contact point and a rear surface of the Mounting projection contacts an outer surface of the downstream wall at an outer contact point, to the contacting surfaces at the contact points tangential planes from the outer contact point to the opening konv ergieren.
- the outer contact point should be above the opening.
- the end wall largely obscures the opening.
- An upper edge of the end wall should be at least locally lower than the outer contact point to either ensure that when water collects in a gap between the end wall and the downstream wall, this water drains into the drain pan above the top edge of the end wall rather than through the opening. or to prevent, in advance, that the end wall and the downstream wall may form a gap which dehydrates through the opening.
- this upper edge should preferably extend at the level of the opening.
- the outer surface of the end wall and the inner surface of the downstream wall should be flat.
- An area of the water drainage bowl facing away from the downstream wall can rest on a bottom plate of the evaporator chamber.
- a region of the water drainage bowl facing the downstream wall is preferably spaced from the base plate.
- the space created thereby between the water drain pan and the bottom plate can be used to accommodate therein a heater for the water drain pan and thus prevent freeze water draining from the evaporator or the downstream wall in the water drain pan again.
- the region of the water drainage bowl facing away from the downstream wall can engage between a defrost heater extending below the evaporator and the bottom plate of the evaporator chamber.
- a defrost heater extending below the evaporator and the bottom plate of the evaporator chamber.
- the defrost heater itself is plate-shaped and sloping down to the downstream wall, then the water drain pan does not need to extend under the entire evaporator to completely absorb any effluent from there draining.
- the remote area is exposed to compressive forces of the defrost heater and the bottom plate, which exert a torque driving a fastening projection against the contact points on the drain pan and so ensure that the contact remains at the outer and inner contact point even after shocks.
- an upper edge of the aperture may have at least one edge portion rising obliquely to a vertex.
- mounting projections should be provided on the water drain pan on both sides of a central plane crossing the end wall.
- the downstream wall may be part of a component which is inserted into the inner container and separates the evaporator chamber and storage compartment from each other
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic section through an emergency frost-freezer.
- a body 1 and a door 2 of the refrigerator may surround one or more chambers, in Fig. 1 only one chamber 3 is shown.
- a deep-drawn plastic inner container 4 defines the chamber 3 against a the walls of the body 1 filling foam layer 5 from.
- the chamber 3 is divided by an evaporator shell 6 in a storage compartment 7, an evaporator chamber 8 and a fan chamber 9.
- a fan 10 in the fan chamber 9 sucks air from the storage compartment 7 via a door near inlet 11 into the evaporator chamber 8, through an evaporator arranged therein 12 and an opening 14 in a downstream wall 13 of the evaporator chamber 8 in the fan chamber 9 and pushes them from there back into the storage compartment 7.
- Evaporator tray 6 and evaporator 12 are in Fig. 2 in an enlarged section and in Fig. 3 shown in a partially exploded view.
- the evaporator 12 is a fin evaporator of substantially cuboidal shape.
- At the bottom of the evaporator 12 extends a plate-shaped defrost heater 15.
- the defrost heater 15 includes a heat spreader plate 16 made of sheet metal and a heating tube 17, which is laid on the heat spreader plate 16 in serpentine.
- the heat spreader plate 16 slopes down to the downstream wall 13 of the evaporator chamber 6.
- Straight sections of the heating tube 17 are laid on the heat spreader plate 16 in the direction of the slope, so that they do not hinder the flow of condensation on the heat spreader plate 16 and each intervene in a gap between fins of the evaporator 12 and can heat them so efficiently.
- the lower mold body 19 further forms, together with the bottom plate 49, a bottom of the evaporator chamber 8, the evaporator 12 and defrost heater 15 insulated from the storage compartment 7.
- Fig. 3 is essentially only the upper mold body 18 to see the lower mold body 19 and the water drain pan 25 are received in the evaporator pan 6, so that the lower mold body is hidden behind the wall 13 and below the water drain pan 25.
- a trench 20 in the transverse direction of the body 1. From the bottom of the trench 20 from a passage 21 through the wall 13 into the fan chamber 9. From the fan chamber 9 from a pipe 22 passes through the Rear wall of the body 1 to the outside, in particular to an evaporation tray 23 in a machine room 24 of the body. 1
- a water drain pan 25 (s. Fig. 2, 4 ) is provided to catch defrosting effluent during defrosting of the evaporator 12 by the defrost heater 15 and to supply the evaporation tray 23 without being able to distribute in the molded body 19 or in joints between it and the evaporator shell 6.
- the water drain pan 25 comprises a front portion 26 which is clamped between the defrost heater 15 and the underlying mold body 19 to absorb water draining from the defrost heater 15, a trough-shaped rear portion 27 extending from the bottom of the trench 20 through a Gap 28 is separated, extends over the trench 20 and terminates with a voltage applied to the downstream wall 13 end wall 33, and a pipe socket 29 which extends from the lowest point of the rear portion 27 through the passage 21 of the wall 13 and the free end in the pipe 22 engages.
- the space 28 under the rear portion 27 provides space for a heater that heats the rear portion 27 and the pipe socket 29 during defrosting of the evaporator 12 to ensure that expired from the evaporator 12 Condensation water actually reaches the evaporation tray 23 and does not previously freeze again in the rear region 27 or in the pipe socket 29.
- a piece of this heater 48 is in Fig. 3 shown at the end of the pipe socket 29.
- Fig. 4 shows the water drain pan 25 in a detail view.
- the one in the perspective of Fig. 3 Facing away from the viewer front portion 26 is flat and bounded at its lateral edges of webs 30, which rise in the assembled state on both sides of the heat spreader plate 16 to dissipate flowing condensate lossless the rear portion 27.
- Two brackets 31 projecting up from the front region 26 are provided to access a refrigerant line 32 (see FIG. Fig. 2 ) of the evaporator 12 and thus anchor the water drain pan 25 to the evaporator 12.
- the end wall 33 forms the edge of the water drain pan 25 facing the viewer.
- the upper edge 35 of two mounting projections 36 From a viewer-facing surface 34 of the end wall 33 are adjacent to the upper edge 35 of two mounting projections 36 from. In the middle between the two mounting projections 36, the upper edge 35 is cut out to leave room for a projecting from the downstream wall 13 in the evaporator chamber 8 into, the opening 14 surrounding intake manifold 37 (s. Fig. 1, 2 ). At least in an upper area, the surface 34 is flat and vertical.
- the attachment protrusions 36 extend through openings 41 formed on either side of the intake manifold 37 in the downstream wall 13.
- Fig. 5 shows a plan view of such an opening 41 and the engaging projection 36 therein;
- Fig. 6 shows a longitudinal section through a fastening projection 36 and its surroundings.
- the fastening projections 36 are about a surface 34 of the end wall 33 perpendicular, in the sectional plane of the Fig. 6 extending axis 38 rotationally symmetric and each have a stem 39 and a head 40 with a surface 34 facing flat frustoconical rear surface 42 (s. Fig. 6 ).
- the rear portion 27 is resiliently biased so that the mounting projections 36 press from below against an upper edge 46 of the openings 41.
- the stem 39 is shorter than the wall thickness d of the downstream wall 13, so that the rear surfaces 42 at the upper edges of the openings 41 an outer, ie, facing away from the evaporator chamber 8, surface 43 of the downstream wall 13 and touch it along this tangential to the rear surface 42 level 44 up to the position of Fig. 6 along which the rear surface 42 and the outer surface 43 contact at a contact point 50 of the upper edge 46 and the surface 34 of the end wall 33 on the inner surface 45 of the downstream wall 13 is tight. If defrosted precipitate on this inner surface 45 above the edge 35, the condensate can flow from there only in the water drain pan 25 into it; the path into the space 28 is blocked by the contact of downstream wall 13 and end wall 33.
- this opening 41 can not happen easily. Due to the small length of the stem 39, this and the upper edge 46 of the opening 41 are always separated by a gap 47. This gap 47 prevents a dew drops is drawn by capillary action in the opening 41. Instead, it is deflected sideways by the roof-like course of the upper edge 46 with sections rising obliquely to a vertex and thus finally reaches the water drain pan 25th

Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kältegerät, insbesondere ein Haushaltskältegerät, mit einer Verdampferkammer und einer die Verdampferkammer entwässernden Kondenswasserableitu ng.The present invention relates to a refrigerator, in particular a household refrigerator, with an evaporator chamber and the evaporator chamber draining Kondenswasserableitu ng.
Wenn ein in einer Verdampferkammer angeordneter Verdampfer ein von der Verdampferkammer getrenntes Lagerfach kühlt, indem Luft zwischen der Verdampferkammer und dem Lagerfach umgewälzt wird, schlägt sich Feuchtigkeit, die die Luft in dem Lagerfach aufgenommen hat, in der Verdampferkammer überwiegend am Verdampfer selbst, zum Teil aber auch an kalten Wänden der Verdampferkammer in deren stromabwärts vom Verdampfer gelegenen Teil als Reif nieder.When an evaporator located in an evaporator chamber cools a storage compartment separate from the evaporator compartment by circulating air between the evaporator compartment and the storage compartment, moisture that has taken up the air in the storage compartment in the evaporator compartment predominates on the evaporator itself, but in part also on cold walls of the evaporator chamber in the downstream of the evaporator located part as a hoop down.
Um einen auf Dauer energieeffizienten Betrieb eines solchen Kältegeräts zu gewährleisten, muss dieser Reif von Zeit zu Zeit beseitigt werden. Dazu ist in der Verdampferkammer unter dem Verdampfer eine Wasserablaufschale montiert, in der vom Verdampfer ablaufendes Tauwasser zusammenläuft. Um auch den sich an den kalten Wänden der Verdampferkammer niederschlagenden Reif sicher auffangen zu können, müsste eine solche in der Verdampferkammer montierte Wasserablaufschale sich bis unter die Unterkanten dieser Wände erstrecken, doch dies ist mit der Anforderung, dass die Verdampferkammer sowohl einfach aufgebaut als auch zu Wartungszwecken zerlegbar sein soll, nur schwerlich zu vereinbaren. Herkömmlicherweise hat deshalb die Wasserablaufschale eine Stirnwand, die einer stromabwärtigen Wand der Verdampferkammer zugewandt ist, sowie Befestigungsvorsprünge, die über die Stirnwand überstehen, durch eine Öffnung der stromabwärtigen Wand hindurchgreifen und an einer von der Verdampferkammer abgewandten Oberfläche der stromabwärtigen Wand verhakt sind. Diese Befestigungsvorsprünge können zwar den Abstand zwischen der Stirnwand der Wasserablaufschale und der stromabwärtigen Wand der Verdampferkammer begrenzen, können ihn aber, bedingt durch Fertigungstoleranzen, nicht exakt zu Null machen. Dies kann dazu führen, dass Tauwasser, das an der stromabwärtigen Wand herabläuft, nicht in die Wasserablaufschale gelangt, sondern zwischen deren Stirnwand und der stromabwärtigen Wand hindurchläuft und dadurch Bereiche des Kältegeräts erreicht, wo ein weiterer Abfluss des Wassers nicht gewährleistet ist und sich ansammelndes Wasser zu Funktionsstörungen des Kältegeräts führen kann.In order to ensure a long-term energy-efficient operation of such a refrigeration device, this frost must be eliminated from time to time. For this purpose, a water drain pan is mounted in the evaporator chamber under the evaporator, converging in the effluent from the evaporator condensate. In order to be able to catch the frost precipitating on the cold walls of the evaporator chamber safely, such a mounted in the evaporator chamber water drainage would extend to below the lower edges of these walls, but this is with the requirement that the evaporator chamber both simple and too Maintenance should be dismantled, difficult to reconcile. Conventionally, therefore, the water drain pan has an end wall facing a downstream wall of the evaporator chamber, and fastening projections projecting beyond the end wall, pass through an opening of the downstream wall and are hooked to a side facing away from the evaporator chamber surface of the downstream wall. Although these attachment projections may limit the distance between the end wall of the water drain pan and the downstream wall of the evaporator chamber, but can not make it exactly zero due to manufacturing tolerances. This can cause condensation water running down the downstream wall not to enter the water drain pan, but to pass between its end wall and the downstream wall and thereby areas of the refrigeration device reached, where a further outflow of water is not guaranteed and accumulating water can cause malfunction of the refrigerator.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist, ein Kältegerät zu schaffen, bei dem die Verdampferkammer einfach und zerlegbar aufgebaut ist und ein vollständiger Abfluss des Tauwassers gewährleistet ist.The object of the invention is to provide a refrigeration device in which the evaporator chamber is constructed simple and separable and a complete outflow of the condensation water is guaranteed.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst, indem bei einem Kältegerät mit einer Verdampferkammer, einem in der Verdampferkammer montierten Verdampfer, einem Ventilator zum Antreiben eines Luftstroms durch die Verdampferkammer und einer Wasserablaufschale, die in der Verdampferkammer unter dem Verdampfer montiert ist und eine Stirnwand, die einer stromabwärtigen Wand der Verdampferkammer zugewandt ist, sowie wenigstens einen über die Stirnwand überstehenden und durch eine Öffnung der stromabwärtigen Wand hindurchgreifenden Befestigungsvorsprung aufweist, in einer Anschlagstellung, in der eine äußere Oberfläche der Stirnwand eine innere Oberfläche der stromabwärtigen Wand an einem inneren Kontaktpunkt berührt und eine rückwärtige Oberfläche des Befestigungsvorsprungs eine äußere Oberfläche der stromabwärtigen Wand an einem äußeren Kontaktpunkt berührt, zu den einander berührenden Oberflächen an den Kontaktpunkten tangentiale Ebenen vom äußeren Kontaktpunkt zur Öffnung hin konvergieren.The object is achieved by providing in a refrigerator with an evaporator chamber, an evaporator mounted in the evaporator chamber, a fan for driving an air flow through the evaporator chamber and a water drain pan, which is mounted in the evaporator chamber below the evaporator and an end wall, which is a downstream wall facing the evaporator chamber, and having at least one over the end wall protruding and passing through an opening of the downstream wall fastening projection, in a stop position in which an outer surface of the end wall contacts an inner surface of the downstream wall at an inner contact point and a rear surface of the Mounting projection contacts an outer surface of the downstream wall at an outer contact point, to the contacting surfaces at the contact points tangential planes from the outer contact point to the opening konv ergieren.
Durch die Konvergenz der tangentialen Ebenen ist es auch trotz gewisser Abmessungstoleranzen der Verdampferkammer und der Wasserablaufschale möglich, einen eng anliegenden Kontakt zwischen der Stirnwand der Wasserablaufschale und der stromabwärtigen Wand herzustellen, indem beide in einer zur Oberfläche der Stirnwand oder der stromabwärtigen Wand gegeneinander verschoben werden, bis sowohl eine äußere Oberfläche der Stirnwand eine innere Oberfläche der stromabwärtigen Wand als auch eine rückwärtige Oberfläche des Befestigungsvorsprungs eine äußere Oberfläche der stromabwärtigen Wand berührt.Due to the convergence of the tangential planes, despite certain dimensional tolerances of the evaporator chamber and the water drain pan, it is possible to make a close contact between the end wall of the water drain pan and the downstream wall by displacing them both in a face wall or a downstream wall surface, until both an outer surface of the end wall, an inner surface of the downstream wall, and a rear surface of the attachment protrusion contact an outer surface of the downstream wall.
Um die Wahrscheinlichkeit eines Wasserdurchtritts durch die Öffnung selber zu minimieren, sollte der äußere Kontaktpunkt oberhalb der Öffnung liegen. So kann die Stirnwand, wenn der Befestigungsvorsprung diesen Kontaktpunkt erreicht, die Öffnung großenteils verdecken.In order to minimize the likelihood of water passing through the opening itself, the outer contact point should be above the opening. Thus, when the attachment projection reaches this contact point, the end wall largely obscures the opening.
Eine Oberkante der Stirnwand sollte wenigstens lokal tiefer liegen als der äußere Kontaktpunkt, um entweder sicherzustellen, dass wenn sich Wasser in einem Spalt zwischen Stirnwand und stromabwärtiger Wand sammelt, dieses Wasser eher über die Oberkante der Stirnwand in die Ablaufschale hinein als durch die Öffnung abfließt, oder von vornherein zu verhindern, dass Stirnwand und stromabwärtige Wand einen Spalt bilden können, der durch die Öffnung entwässert.An upper edge of the end wall should be at least locally lower than the outer contact point to either ensure that when water collects in a gap between the end wall and the downstream wall, this water drains into the drain pan above the top edge of the end wall rather than through the opening. or to prevent, in advance, that the end wall and the downstream wall may form a gap which dehydrates through the opening.
Um einen dicht schließenden Kontakt zur stromabwärtigen Wand unmittelbar an einer Oberkante der Stirnwand herzustellen, sollte diese Oberkante vorzugsweise in Höhe der Öffnung verlaufen.In order to produce a tight-fitting contact with the downstream wall immediately at an upper edge of the end wall, this upper edge should preferably extend at the level of the opening.
Ebenfalls zum Zwecke der Abdichtung zwischen Stirnwand und stromabwärtiger Wand sollten die äußere Oberfläche der Stirnwand und die innere Oberfläche der stromabwärtigen Wand eben sein.Also for the purpose of sealing between the end wall and the downstream wall, the outer surface of the end wall and the inner surface of the downstream wall should be flat.
Ein von der stromabwärtigen Wand abgewandter Bereich der Wasserablaufschale kann auf einer Bodenplatte der Verdampferkammer aufliegen.An area of the water drainage bowl facing away from the downstream wall can rest on a bottom plate of the evaporator chamber.
Ein der stromabwärtigen Wand zugewandter Bereich der Wasserablaufschale ist hingegen vorzugsweise von der Bodenplatte beabstandet.On the other hand, a region of the water drainage bowl facing the downstream wall is preferably spaced from the base plate.
Der dadurch geschaffene Zwischenraum zwischen der Wasserablaufschale und der Bodenplatte kann genutzt werden, um darin eine Heizung für die Wasserablaufschale unterzubringen und so zu verhindern, dass vom Verdampfer oder der stromabwärtigen Wand abfließendes Tauwasser in der Wasserablaufschale erneut gefriert.The space created thereby between the water drain pan and the bottom plate can be used to accommodate therein a heater for the water drain pan and thus prevent freeze water draining from the evaporator or the downstream wall in the water drain pan again.
Der von der stromabwärtigen Wand abgewandte Bereich der Wasserablaufschale kann zwischen eine sich unter dem Verdampfer erstreckende Abtauheizung und die Bodenplatte der Verdampferkammer eingreift. Insbesondere wenn die Abtauheizung selber plattenförmig und zur stromabwärtigen Wand abschüssig ist, braucht sich die Wasserablaufschale dann nicht unter dem gesamten Verdampfer zu erstrecken, um von dort abfließendes Tauwasser komplett aufzufangen.The region of the water drainage bowl facing away from the downstream wall can engage between a defrost heater extending below the evaporator and the bottom plate of the evaporator chamber. In particular, if the defrost heater itself is plate-shaped and sloping down to the downstream wall, then the water drain pan does not need to extend under the entire evaporator to completely absorb any effluent from there draining.
Indem der der stromabwärtigen Wand zugewandten Bereich der Wasserablaufschale unter elastische Spannung gesetzt ist, kann eine Verschiebung der Wasserablaufschale durch Erschütterungen, insbesondere während eines Transports des Kältegeräts, verhindert werden.By placing the region of the water drainage bowl facing the downstream wall under elastic tension, displacement of the water drainage bowl by vibrations, in particular during transport of the refrigeration appliance, can be prevented.
Vorzugsweise ist der abgewandte Bereich Druckkräften der Abtauheizung und der Bodenplatte ausgesetzt, die ein den einem Befestigungsvorsprung gegen die Kontaktpunkte treibendes Drehmoment auf die Ablaufschale ausüben und so dafür sorgen, dass der Kontakt am äußeren und am inneren Kontaktpunkt auch nach Erschütterungen bestehen bleibt.Preferably, the remote area is exposed to compressive forces of the defrost heater and the bottom plate, which exert a torque driving a fastening projection against the contact points on the drain pan and so ensure that the contact remains at the outer and inner contact point even after shocks.
Um die Ablaufschale entlang der einander gegenüberliegenden Oberflächen von Stirnwand und stromabwärtiger Wand eindeutig zu positionieren, kann ein oberer Rand der Öffnung wenigstens einen zu einem Scheitel schräg ansteigenden Randabschnitt aufweisen.In order to uniquely position the drain pan along the opposed surfaces of the end wall and the downstream wall, an upper edge of the aperture may have at least one edge portion rising obliquely to a vertex.
Um die Ablaufschale kippsicher zu fixieren, sollten Befestigungsvorsprünge an der Wasserablaufschale auf beiden Seiten einer die Stirnwand kreuzenden Mittelebene vorgesehen sein.In order to fix the drain pan tilt-proof, mounting projections should be provided on the water drain pan on both sides of a central plane crossing the end wall.
Wenn die Verdampferkammer und ein Lagerfach in einem gemeinsamen Innenbehälter untergebracht sind, kann die stromabwärtige Wand Teil eines Bauteils sein, das in den Innenbehälter eingefügt ist und Verdampferkammer und Lagerfach voneinander trenntWhen the evaporator chamber and a storage compartment are accommodated in a common inner container, the downstream wall may be part of a component which is inserted into the inner container and separates the evaporator chamber and storage compartment from each other

Die Kammer 3 ist durch eine Verdampferschale 6 unterteilt in ein Lagerfach 7, eine Verdampferkammer 8 und eine Ventilatorkammer 9. Ein Ventilator 10 in der Ventilatorkammer 9 saugt Luft aus dem Lagerfach 7 über eine türnahe Einlassöffnung 11 in die Verdampferkammer 8, durch einen darin angeordneten Verdampfer 12 und eine Öffnung 14 in einer stromabwärtigen Wand 13 der Verdampferkammer 8 in die Ventilatorkammer 9 und stößt sie von dort wieder in das Lagerfach 7 aus.The
Verdampferschale 6 und Verdampfer 12 sind in
Formkörper 18, 19 von im Wesentlichen plattenartiger Gestalt, z.B. aus expandiertem Polystyrol, füllen Zwischenräume zwischen der Oberseite des Verdampfers 12 und der (in
Zwischen dem Verdampfer 12 und der stromabwärtigen Wand 13 erstreckt sich ein Graben 20 in Querrichtung des Korpus 1. Vom Boden des Grabens 20 aus führt ein Durchgang 21 durch die Wand 13 in die Ventilatorkammer 9. Von der Ventilatorkammer 9 aus verläuft eine Rohrleitung 22 durch die Rückwand des Korpus 1 ins Freie, insbesondere zu einer Verdunstungsschale 23 in einem Maschinenraum 24 des Korpus 1.Between the
Eine Wasserablaufschale 25 (s.
Der Zwischenraum 28 unter dem hinteren Bereich 27 bietet Platz für eine Heizung, die während des Abtauens des Verdampfers 12 auch den hinteren Bereich 27 und den Rohrstutzen 29 erwärmt, um sicherzustellen, dass vom Verdampfer 12 abgelaufenes Tauwasser tatsächlich die Verdunstungsschale 23 erreicht und nicht vorher im hinteren Bereich 27 oder im Rohrstutzen 29 erneut gefriert. Ein Stück dieser Heizung 48 ist in
Von einer dem Betrachter zugewandten Oberfläche 34 der Stirnwand 33 stehen benachbart zu deren oberer Kante 35 zwei Befestigungsvorsprünge 36 ab. In der Mitte zwischen den beiden Befestigungsvorsprüngen 36 ist die obere Kante 35 ausgeschnitten, um Platz zu lassen für einen von der stromabwärtigen Wand 13 in die Verdampferkammer 8 hinein vorspringenden, die Öffnung 14 umgebenden Ansaugstutzen 37 (s.
Die Befestigungsvorsprünge 36 erstrecken sich durch Öffnungen 41, die beiderseits des Ansaugstutzens 37 in der stromabwärtigen Wand 13 gebildet sind.
Auch Tauwasser, das beim Abfließen von der Oberfläche 45 auf die obere Kante 46 einer der Öffnungen 41 stößt, kann diese Öffnung 41 nicht ohne weiteres passieren. Aufgrund der geringen Länge des Stiels 39 sind dieser und die obere Kante 46 der Öffnung 41 immer durch einen Zwischenraum 47 getrennt. Dieser Zwischenraum 47 verhindert, dass ein Tauwassertropfen durch Kapillarwirkung in die Öffnung 41 hineingezogen wird. Stattdessen wird er durch den dachähnlichen Verlauf des oberen Randes 46 mit zu einem Scheitel schräg ansteigenden Abschnitten seitwärts abgelenkt und erreicht so schließlich die Wasserablaufschale 25.Also, condensation water, which encounters one of the
